What are White Lightnings, and how do you identify them?
A. Johnny Lightning White Lightnings are variations of the more realistic commemoratives such as Custom El Camino, Custom GTO, Custom XKE, ’32 Roadster, Custom Continental, Custom Toronado, Custom Thunderbird and Custom Mustang. They are typically metallic white in color, usually with white tires and a clearly marked package denoting “White Lightning.” Some collectors would have you think that ANY Johnny Lightning that happens to be a pearl white color is a White Lightning. It isn’t.
